An employee who was on duty at the counter in the ‘parikrama’ meant for receiving donations pertaining to langar and other works in the shrine was approached by the suspects, including a woman, at around 7.30 pm on Sunday.
“Our employee told us that they got him engaged in a conversation and picked up Rs 1 lakh from the counter without giving him an inkling of their intentions and fled away,” he said.
He said a case had been registered at the E-Division police station on the basis of a complaint by the employee who was on duty then. They were scrutinising the CCTV footage to trace them.
